Statements from Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP Group:
The MotoGP season presentation has become one of the highlights of the year for our championship, as it brings together all teams, riders and manufacturers at the start of a new season.
The enthusiasm shown by Brazilian fans during our return to Goiânia in 2026, with all tickets sold out, confirmed the extraordinary bond that exists between MotoGP and Brazil. Following the success of our recent ‘Season Launch’ events in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, Rio de Janeiro offers the perfect stage to keep raising the bar, combining iconic locations, passionate fans and world-class entertainment. We look forward to delivering the biggest and most spectacular MotoGP ‘Season Launch’ yet.
